Hey guys i own a r32 gtr 93 model and im having issues with my car.

Il state the mods to help you guys with answers.

Full exhaust system 3 inch

Apexi pod filters

Nismo afm's

Sard 700 cc injectors

Bosch 040 pump

Hks 2530 turbos

Greddy boost controller 15 psi boost

Power fc ecu tuned

Splitfire coilpacks

Iriway 7 spark plugs

The coilpacks were purchased second hand of a member on the forum about 7 months ago, they were fine till the last couple of days as to my knowledge. Now as i drive normal everything is sweet but as soon as it gets past about 4000rpm it missfires then it drops a cylinder and sounds like a wrx. Im guessing its the coilpacks that are efffd, but my car isnt that heavily moded to fail a splitfire coilpack (280 kw at all fours).

Am i right to lean towards faulty coilpacks? Or is it not possible for them to die so easily?

Thanks in advance

Sorry don't know the exact name for it but could be the brain that the coil packs are all connected to as well? It kinda dies in the ass sometimes due to heat, but it quite possibly could be the packs themselves. Try another set.

The coils sound dead but try the resitor first it's the silver and black box that sits on top of the coil pack cover. I have coil packs and a resistor you can try to find out the problem I'm on the coast where in syd you live?

The "resistor" box is not a resistor. It's the ignitor. R32 (RB20 and RB26) and S1 R33 RB25 use the same igniter and coils. S2 RB25 coils are not compatible with the earlier ones.

Because all your ignition gear is relatively new, it would be strange (but possible) for something in there to have died. I'd also suspect that one of the injectors might have an issue, so if you get desperate get them tested too.

And then there's the CAS.

cheers

i have this same problem i hav new coilpacks and aftermarket ems ignitors and the ems ecu. i hav replaced all these and havent fixed it. i actually burnt out the coil on #3 cyl. i am having the ignitor and coilpack harness replaced to try and fix the problem.

Turned out my ignitor was gone. No issues after replacing with another.

Cheers for the help guys!

Interesting. My brother-in-law was recently handballed a Legnum wagon that no-one else could make work. He worked out that the ignitor was stuffed......but a new one didn't help. Then they found that the ECU was torched. It had had coolant in it at some earlier stage when a heater hose had died. When the ECU went, it took out the ignitor. Sounds like you might have suffered something similar (ie, ECU killing the ignitor).

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
